The Froggy Ball

Frogs
all hopping
from lily to pad
the pond is alive today
playing so freely
even with
Toads
as big as
fat bullfrogs on shore
they all get into the dance
the hoedown begins
let’s party
Gang
says the old
tadpole to the frogs
a symphony of ribbits
beginning the waltz
isn’t this
Fun
says the frog
to the horny toad
as he bounces on his head
yes indeed says toad
let us all
Swim
in rhythm
to a beat and song
let’s call this the froggy ball
as the party ends
let's all just
Croak

    The frog at the top has got boundless energy

    Hi Dove, this is a super Oddquain Swirl and kept me entertained all the way through...it's a wonderful poem for children and also teaches them the form...I found it to be quite lyrical and kept thinking hmmm some music would be good for this

    Each stanza stands on its own and tells a story...you have swirled through the stanzas perfectly and displayed it nicely to the eye, although I never take backgrounds into consideration when judging...I Judge them away from their backgrounds and the name of the authors...but its nice to see a nice setting...this is a nice one...

    I can honestly say this uplifting poem made me smile and chuckle


    Take care ~Lilac~

    delightful

    I am entranced by your froggies. Very clever use of graphics that enhance a delightful poem. The hopping froggie gave me the giggles. Best of luck in the contest.
    hugs Wolfie
